FP-3 Case 14 · All-on-X · Implants

Fixed Teeth From the Cheekbones

Fixed teeth without enough jawbone for conventional implants: hers went into the cheekbones instead.

Zygomatic implants

Fixed teeth from the cheekbones

She received zygomatic implants, which are placed in the patient's cheekbones. This enabled us to give her fixed teeth. We fitted her temporary teeth in one day and installed her permanent teeth several months later after her implants had sufficiently healed.

Why here

A center that restores zygomatic implants

ArtLab Dentistry is one of the few centers in the country that routinely restores zygomatic implants. Dr. Reshad is a speaker for Nobel Biocare and teaches dentists internationally how to restore these failed implants.

Her smile was restored with very specific and stringent techniques perfected at ArtLab. We can give our patients teeth on the same day of implant surgery using the ArtLab4 Dental Implant, also referred to as All-On-Four or Teeth in a Day.

Every case is planned around one person's anatomy. Individual results vary, and what was right for this patient may not be right for you.
